Love and time travel may not mix well, but in The Time Traveler's Wife, everything goes so fine. Theo James takes the role of Henry, the man with an uncontrollable life traveling through time. The film's star, though, is the beautiful Clare portrayed by Rose Leslie. This romantic adventure, however poignant it gets through its long moments of yearning and loss, cannot get tired of fighting challenges posed by both time and memory. Fun fact: the time travel sequence was so complicated that James had to rehearse his scenes for hours to get the emotional beats through with all the shifting timelines.
